The Senate has just voted to end debate on a bill that would lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military, essentially clearing the measure for passage and signature by the president.

Lawmakers voted 63 to 33 to end debate on the current policy, put in place by former president Bill Clinton, informally known as "don't ask don't tell."

The Senate could vote on final passage of the measure as early as today but it will most likely happen on Sunday or Monday.

"We are on the verge of ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' for good," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said after the vote "This is one of those moments in our history when we stepped up and squared our policies with the values this nation was founded upon."

it’s idiots like this person why the queer agenda is being passed.
They think because they know someone who is a queer that they have no problem with their agenda but never thier agenda is dong to our country.

fergetiaboutit! Just wait. Once this becomes law, the FIRST thing that’s going to happen is that the military will institute Gay Diversity Training and EVERY marine will be ORDERED to attend. The brainwashing will proceed from there.

don’t know who you have talked to or if you have served but I know plenty still serving and talked to a friend in Kabul .
None of us know one person who wanted repeal but of course the MSM will have you think differently.

"I dont support any acquisition of rights based on group affiliation and I am completely against gay marriage."

Base housing, off-base renters who refuse to rent to active duty faggots will be forced to, benefits for the active duty faggot's partner of anal penetration or plastic phallic devices, adoption laws of active duty faggots, medical bills, HIV positive types are not deployed which hurts readiness, and many more "rights based on group affiliation" are already being debated. I take it you are not in favor of this but you sure as hell indirectly support this, hypocrite. Your false sense of righteous morality will be met with reality in the form of faggotry run amok. As a tax payer that will subsidize the "partners", thank you for your support at creating this mess.

People like Collins and Brown are simply focused on the “the next day.” In that sense, perhaps, it is not a big deal.

But what about 5 years from now? 10 years? What about when “gay pride parades” in the military start? What about when the politically correct investigations of Officers (esp. Christian ones) start? What about when the bunking with openly practicing homosexuals begins?

Well, what can I say. The Lord is working here not in just the afterlife. This policy will doom many to death and this country will not prosper following other gods (politically correct gods). If it is sin as you believe, then a policy of sin, gets the wages of sin (death).

If you look at the text of the actual bill; there not much to it. You just get one sentence saying that the particular law from 1993 is no longer valid. What does that mean, that the military will then be able to set its own commonsense policies about homosexuality? No, I don’t think they’ll let that happen. Instead you’ll have gays running around base, engaging in behavior that would land any straight soldier in hot water, with the leadership’s hands tied because homosexuality will have become a protected status. I say that, because this is what happens. Go to any pride parade or gay bar in the country; such public indecency wouldn’t be tolerated from any other group - but free passes are generously handed out based on an individual’s claim to this one particular form of perversion.

“I am going to say something that I am sure will get me flamed....I also won’t be on FR for most of the day, so others will call it a hit and run.....but....
I think most here are really overreacting to DADT. Although I, personally, think homosexuality is a sin, I think this isone sin I will let God handle in the afterlife.”

—Disagree.

Simple question for you: given the fact that many male gays have been known to engage in extremely risky sexual behavior (which is part of the reason AIDS affects them the most), and the fact that well...soldiers bleed on the battlefield, do you really believe that people won’t think twice before joining the military and wanting to serve with openly gay people?

To add, homosexuality is incompatable with military service, and starting today, military service will be incompatible with Christianity. From this day forward, I’ll have no respect for anyone enlisting or re-enlisting.

You my friend are dead on correct. I wish Jim would banish all of these people on FR as there are plenty of “OTHER” places on the Internet for them to congregate. I have been around the military all of my life (I was an AF brat and my dad grew up an Army Brat) and these people have no idea what they speak of. This will hurt this country in more ways than they can imagine.

No military member should EVER be forced to live with a homosexual against their will
It is clearly written gay and lesbianism is against His Word. Our government passes laws against Gods almighty word?
Woe to he
